Well, mja6758, I guess you will have to wend your way to Oz and find a sneaky way to switch out the cds in his player.

Good luck with that - "Revolver" is up next and I haven't listened to that in 26 years and am SO looking forward to it

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p85611Okay, you're the boss lady! Not sure how this is going to work though...

Shall I suggest a best of three at rock, paper, scissors to settle the matter?

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p85583I would usually agree with the wonderful cbatcu (or else she might beat me up!), however while listening to original albums in order is a good idea to see how a songwriter develops, I don't think that counts when it comes to wholly/largely cover version albums, as they are probably pretty much as always bar the additional musicians.

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p85582^ ha ha - good points. I'll make sure I'm a bit more current when I ask next time.

Oh, and I'd love to listen to them earlier, but I followed cbatcu's advice on flipping a coin on the 'listen in order or jump around a bit' conundrum I had and it came up 'listen in order' - which also makes it a little easier to remember what I still have to listen to

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p85577Ooo... I think you should move them up up your list as you asked for opinions! How we know if we're pointing you the right way if we have to wait months? I know you have a big pile, but what do I say when next you ask for an opinion on something and still have no idea whether this opinion made sense or not! Disappointed face!

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p85574^ No, I haven't listened to them as yet. As noted in another post I have around 50 'Beatley' CDs and DVDs to catch up on, and I listen to each at least twice to get a good feel for the music. So, it could be a few months before I get to them (I am only up to Rubber Soul at the moment, after Beatles come Harrison, then Lennon, then McCartney etc.).

I am also just listening / watching one new item per day to make it all last

Though I will make ...]]>

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p85570Have you listened to either/both yet? Or just played the covers? Just curious to hear what you think.

No, no, no! It is called Choba b CCCP. That's where it was released, and its title! We all know what it stands for, but he didn't call it Back In The USSR! Choba b CCCP! Repeat after me...

And I may have got the title wrong, no commas in "Run Devil Run"? Seen it both ways on the net now.

For some reason, commas are often admitted from album and song titles. That doesn't stop a spelling & grammar freak like me from putting them back in. See: "Thank You, Girl;" "Good Morning, Good Morning;" "Cry, Baby, Cry."

Let's also not forget that, like Kisses on the Bottom, Paul threw in a few of his own compositions on Run Devil Run, making ...]]>

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p83328I like both of these, but contrary to mja, I prefer Run Devil Run. I feel like it's less forced than Choba.

Paul McCartneyhttp://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/paul-mccartney/choba-b-and-run-devil-run/#p82809^ Thanks m j, nice to have some of that background. I always thought Paul was more of a rocker than some folks care to give him credit for.
